told us that he does not mind getting stung by bees once in a while. He is bee keeper number five and liked doing business with the bees. He loves what he does. That is why he's been in the business for twenty-five years.

Bee keeping can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Nothing gets wasted in bee keeping. The bee keeper only takes honey twice a year. Bees like many different plants. They especially get lots of nectar from fennel plants. The green bee is recognised by her poisoned tail and is twice as big as the worker bee who has eight eyes.

The stingless bee can be recognised as the smallest bee in the world. The queen bee is the only bee which lays eggs, and can lay up to five hundred eggs. Her life span is from three to five years. Bees are also known as one of the farmers' best friends. The Africanised bee is the most powerful bee in the world. It is known as the Killer bee or Honey bee.

Honey is made by the honey bees. It is one of the world's best natural treats.

Honey can be found all over the world in many colours such as dark brown, yellow, light brown, and white. The honey is produced by the bees in little hexagon shapes called honey cones.

From my point of view bee keeping can be a very interesting and educational experience. Perhaps I would like to try it some day.
